UpdateRuleGroup
Updates the specified RuleGroup.
Note
This operation completely replaces the mutable specifications that you already have for the rule group with the ones that you provide to this call.
To modify a rule group, do the following:
-
Retrieve it by calling GetRuleGroup
-
Update its settings as needed
-
Provide the complete rule group specification to this call
A rule group defines a collection of rules to inspect and control web requests that you can use in a WebACL. When you create a rule group, you define an immutable capacity limit. If you update a rule group, you must stay within the capacity. This allows others to reuse the rule group with confidence in its capacity requirements.
Temporary inconsistencies during updates
When you create or change a web ACL or other Amazon WAF resources, the changes take a small amount of time to propagate to all areas where the resources are stored. The propagation time can be from a few seconds to a number of minutes.
The following are examples of the temporary inconsistencies that you might notice during change propagation:
-
After you create a web ACL, if you try to associate it with a resource, you might get an exception indicating that the web ACL is unavailable.
-
After you add a rule group to a web ACL, the new rule group rules might be in effect in one area where the web ACL is used and not in another.
-
After you change a rule action setting, you might see the old action in some places and the new action in others.
-
After you add an IP address to an IP set that is in use in a blocking rule, the new address might be blocked in one area while still allowed in another.

}Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
- CustomResponseBodies
-
A map of custom response keys and content bodies. When you create a rule with a block action, you can send a custom response to the web request. You define these for the rule group, and then use them in the rules that you define in the rule group.
For information about customizing web requests and responses, see Customizing web requests and responses in Amazon WAF in the Amazon WAF Developer Guide.
For information about the limits on count and size for custom request and response settings, see Amazon WAF quotas in the Amazon WAF Developer Guide.
Type: String to CustomResponseBody object map
Map Entries: Maximum number of items.
Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.
Key Pattern:
^[\w\-]+$Required: No
- Description
-
A description of the rule group that helps with identification.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.
Pattern:
^[\w+=:#@/\-,\.][\w+=:#@/\-,\.\s]+[\w+=:#@/\-,\.]$Required: No
- Id
-
A unique identifier for the rule group. This ID is returned in the responses to create and list commands. You provide it to operations like update and delete.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 36.
Pattern:
^[0-9a-f]{8}-(?:[0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}$Required: Yes
- LockToken
-
A token used for optimistic locking. Amazon WAF returns a token to your
getandlistrequests, to mark the state of the entity at the time of the request. To make changes to the entity associated with the token, you provide the token to operations likeupdateanddelete. Amazon WAF uses the token to ensure that no changes have been made to the entity since you last retrieved it. If a change has been made, the update fails with aWAFOptimisticLockException. If this happens, perform anotherget, and use the new token returned by that operation.Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 36.
Pattern:
^[0-9a-f]{8}-(?:[0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}$Required: Yes
- Name
-
The name of the rule group. You cannot change the name of a rule group after you create it.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.
Pattern:
^[\w\-]+$Required: Yes
- Rules
-
The Rule statements used to identify the web requests that you want to manage. Each rule includes one top-level statement that Amazon WAF uses to identify matching web requests, and parameters that govern how Amazon WAF handles them.
Type: Array of Rule objects
Required: No
- Scope
-
Specifies whether this is for an Amazon CloudFront distribution or for a regional application. A regional application can be an Application Load Balancer (ALB), an Amazon API Gateway REST API, an Amazon AppSync GraphQL API, an Amazon Cognito user pool, an Amazon App Runner service, or an Amazon Verified Access instance.
To work with CloudFront, you must also specify the Region US East (N. Virginia) as follows:
-
CLI - Specify the Region when you use the CloudFront scope:
--scope=CLOUDFRONT --region=us-east-1. -
API and SDKs - For all calls, use the Region endpoint us-east-1.
Type: String
Valid Values:
CLOUDFRONT | REGIONALRequired: Yes
-
- VisibilityConfig
-
Defines and enables Amazon CloudWatch metrics and web request sample collection.
Type: VisibilityConfig object
Required: Yes
Response Syntax
{
"NextLockToken": "string"
}Response Elements
If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.
The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.
- NextLockToken
-
A token used for optimistic locking. Amazon WAF returns this token to your
updaterequests. You useNextLockTokenin the same manner as you useLockToken.Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 36.
Pattern:
^[0-9a-f]{8}-(?:[0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}$
Errors
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.
- WAFConfigurationWarningException
-
The operation failed because you are inspecting the web request body, headers, or cookies without specifying how to handle oversize components. Rules that inspect the body must either provide an
OversizeHandlingconfiguration or they must be preceded by aSizeConstraintStatementthat blocks the body content from being too large. Rules that inspect the headers or cookies must provide anOversizeHandlingconfiguration.Provide the handling configuration and retry your operation.
Alternately, you can suppress this warning by adding the following tag to the resource that you provide to this operation:
Tag(key:WAF:OversizeFieldsHandlingConstraintOptOut, value:true).HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFDuplicateItemException
-
Amazon WAF couldn’t perform the operation because the resource that you tried to save is a duplicate of an existing one.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFInternalErrorException
-
Your request is valid, but Amazon WAF couldn’t perform the operation because of a system problem. Retry your request.
HTTP Status Code: 500
- WAFInvalidOperationException
-
The operation isn't valid.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFInvalidParameterException
-
The operation failed because Amazon WAF didn't recognize a parameter in the request. For example:
-
You specified a parameter name or value that isn't valid.
-
Your nested statement isn't valid. You might have tried to nest a statement that can’t be nested.
-
You tried to update a
WebACLwith aDefaultActionthat isn't among the types available at DefaultAction. -
Your request references an ARN that is malformed, or corresponds to a resource with which a web ACL can't be associated.
HTTP Status Code: 400
-
- WAFLimitsExceededException
-
Amazon WAF couldn’t perform the operation because you exceeded your resource limit. For example, the maximum number of
WebACLobjects that you can create for an Amazon account. For more information, see Amazon WAF quotas in the Amazon WAF Developer Guide.HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFNonexistentItemException
-
Amazon WAF couldn’t perform the operation because your resource doesn't exist. If you've just created a resource that you're using in this operation, you might just need to wait a few minutes. It can take from a few seconds to a number of minutes for changes to propagate.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFOptimisticLockException
-
Amazon WAF couldn’t save your changes because you tried to update or delete a resource that has changed since you last retrieved it. Get the resource again, make any changes you need to make to the new copy, and retry your operation.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFSubscriptionNotFoundException
-
You tried to use a managed rule group that's available by subscription, but you aren't subscribed to it yet.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- WAFUnavailableEntityException
-
Amazon WAF couldn’t retrieve a resource that you specified for this operation. If you've just created a resource that you're using in this operation, you might just need to wait a few minutes. It can take from a few seconds to a number of minutes for changes to propagate. Verify the resources that you are specifying in your request parameters and then retry the operation.
HTTP Status Code: 400
